04/03/2008 Enforcement and awareness on environmental issues are the main concern for Barisan Nasional’s Stulang state seat candidate Mok Chek Hou. Mok felt that the environment in the city had been taken for granted and it was time for something serious to be done. Famed for preventing council officials from cutting down trees in the name of pruning in Taman Sri Tebrau last year, Mok said that environmental conservation was something close to his heart. Mok, who has been a Johor Baru city councillor for the past eight years, said he always raised environmental issues during council meetings. “Besides chopping trees, I will address the issue of littering to maintain a clean and friendly environment,” said the 52-year-old Johor Baru MCA vice-chief. He pledged to take care of the people’s basic needs and the condition of roads, street lights and drains.
